In Norse mythology there are several mentions giant races, the frost giants that lived in the Scandinavian mountains, the fire giants that used and utilised fire
Hell has three levels and is controlled by the God hell, in some versions it is the goddess hell.The top place is Valhalla that is the place people of virtuous deaths go, some thought this meant dieing in battle, but one can also end up in the punishment place at the bottom of Valhalla if one is in an un-virtuous battle. Attacking innocent people is considered un-virtuous. The Vikings believed that if one was good one would not die of diseases or even of old age like the first fathers of this nation. Thus the second level was for those who lived un-virtuous lives and died in a judgement of natural causes like disease or famine.It was interpreted that the virtuous person would be in heaven, however many misunderstood what was virtuous, it was not fighting but fighting the good fight, this good fight was thought to be a fight in which one fought well, but it meant fighting a fight like defending innocent people.Hell is also described to consist of frost giants and a river ( sea ) of ice describing time and substance, reality breaking and melding together to create being and time and reality as we know it.It was explained by a holy Norse man that they were in the time of Baal wolf , a time when evil was done and wars were fought so good fights like defending a family was often fought, thus the virtuous would get ample chance to die a good virtuous death.Once this age ended monsters and men would fight and all would die except those who were peaceful and fulfilled the paradigm of the new humans who would populate the world. This battle is Ragnarok or a vision similar to Armageddon.In the new age virtuous people would not have to die a death fighting to maintain virtuous and protect innocence.
Hell like the word Hindu is really pronounced El (Indu) and is the singular root of the word Elohim, light ones or God(s)
